About Lye
Lye Fong Lee is an Australian Counselling Association (ACA) Level 3 Registered Counsellor with five years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, self‑esteem concerns and depression. She also lists additional focuses such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image and caregiver stress. Sessions are offered in English, Mandarin, Malay and Cantonese.
Her practice uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people develop clearer coping strategies. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness and solution‑focused methods to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes. Her approach also includes strengths-based elements that look for what already helps someone get through hard times.
People come to her worried about communication problems, commitment issues, or the lingering effects of past domestic violence or adoption and foster care experiences. She offers individual counselling and has experience with couples counselling and Employee Assistance Program support. She has also worked with WorkSafe Victoria referrals.
Sessions aim to improve day-to-day functioning, reduce overwhelm, and rebuild confidence. Conversations tend to focus on small, manageable steps such as adjusting thinking patterns, practising short mindfulness exercises, and building clearer communication habits. The therapist helps clients notice what changes make a real difference.
Practical matters such as session scheduling, fees and how counselling is delivered are handled through a short matching questionnaire and booking process. Prospective clients are asked to use the online matching step to schedule a first session and confirm current session options.
How evidence-based techniques are used online
Her practice describes using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness alongside solution-focused methods. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try alternative responses to reduce distress. Mindfulness offers simple attention exercises to reduce rumination and improve present-moment noticing. Solution-focused methods concentrate on small, practical steps that move a person toward clearer communication and steadier routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and decide together which methods to try first, based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative selection helps keep sessions practical and relevant to day-to-day life.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online delivery modes. When online options are available, benefits often include fitting counselling into busy schedules, easier check-ins during a work break, shorter sessions when needed, and avoiding travel time. These practical advantages can make it simpler to keep going with therapy while juggling other responsibilities.
